SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent-No. 301,718, dated July 8, 1884.

Application filed January 26, 1884. (No model.) I

' the construction and novel arrangement of the same, all as will be hereinafter morefully explained, and particularly pointed out in the. claims appended.

The annexed drawingato which reference is made, fully illustrate my invention, in which Figure 1 represents a side view of my device.

- Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view, and Fig. 4 is a perspective sectional view, of the same.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates a crown-strap of a bridle, and a a are the slit ends of the same, which is usually buckled to the cheek-straps of bridles.

B indicates the attachment, which is constructed of a single piece of material, preferably metal, and of rectangular form, and hollow, to form a socket, the ends 15 b of which are open, andthe sides a c are closed. The end I) is constructed with a slit, d, about the center of the two sides, andsaid slit extends about half-way the length of the attachment, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. At each end of the socket are perforations c c and 0 0 the former of which is designed to receive the rivets for securing the same to the crown-strap, and the latter, a" c", for securing in place the end o straps, c a.

pass to the center of the attachment; and ,again, p

it will be seen that my attachment can be on the backstrap of the harnessat the point where the same joins the crupper, which latter, if broken, can be inserted within the socket and secured in place by rivets; at the same time it is ornamental, can be gold, silver, or nickel plated, and it is durable and cheap to manufacture.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. The combination, with the crown-strap A, of the socket B, provided with the perforations 0 0 for securing the same to said strap, and having the slit d,- for the purpose herein set forth.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, the herein-described attachment for harness, consisting of the socket B, constructed of a single piece of material having the open ends I) I), closed sides, and provided with the perforations 0 c andslit d, the whole constructed and arranged as described, and for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
